Audio Newspaper For A Visual World Since 2007

About

The Bugle is the ultimate pan-global audio home of international satire. The show is a weekly eruption of comedic comment about the world’s most, and least, important news stories.

Since it’s 2016 relaunch it has been hosted by Andy Zaltzman with his private militia of co-hosts including Wyatt Cenac and Hari Kondabolu from the US, Anuvab Pal from India, and, from the UK, Nish Kumar and Andy’s multi-podcast-award-winning sister Helen. Old co-host John Oliver may even show up every now and then.

After launching in October 2007, The Bugle has had many homes, but is now enjoying life in the Radiotopia stable

Helen Zaltzman

Helen is a podcasting legend. Ask her about podcasting, or Serial. With hits like Answer Me This and Radiotopia’s The Allusionist under her belt, her joining The Bugle is an issue the competition commission should have an issue with. Yes, she is Andy’s sister.

Wyatt Cenac

A former five time Wimbledon champion, Wyatt has written for TV shows like King of The Hill and was a regular correspondent on the Daily Show. His vote for US President is with McDonalds worker Rochelle.

Wyatt is not on Twitter

Alice Fraser

Alice has been a regular on the show since she horrifed a live audience in Melbourne with a curious mix of puns, obscenity and flamingo trolling. Like all Buglers, she has another show, called Tea With Alice

Anuvab Pal

Anuvab Pal is a modern polymath, having managed to pursue successful careers in the theatre, comedy, literature and cinema. He is apparently one of the five funniest people in India, and India has a lot of people, a ringing endorsement.
